Manitoba Threatened With Trouble
If She Is Defiant.
MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. 24.-The Journals
Winnipeg special says: Another injunc-
tion against the Red River Valley railroad
was moved for to-day by property owners
near Morris. The Montreal Gazette, the
government organ, today threatens
trouble if Manitoba refuses to obey
the orders of the courts when
issued. Hon. Mr. Hamilton said that he
had been served with no papers as yet, and
that the work would be pushed as rapidly
as possible. He doubted if troops would be
sent from the East to enforce the orders of
the courts The matter was now purely a
legal one. In well informed Canadian
quarters the report of Sir John McDonald's
threat is discredited.
ENGLAND's POLICY.
LONDON, Aug. "a. = In the House
of Commons to-day Sir Henry Hol-

Sir Henry Taylor, said he had no in
formation that Sir John Mcdonald, the
Canadian Premier, intended to ask for Brit
ish troops for service in Manitoba, but he
was not prepared to say that under no cir
cumstances would imperial troops support
the local forces. Each case, he added must
be judged on its merits. The announcement
was received with cheers.

It Is impossible for any man witt a good heart to be satisfied witt the world as 1t now is. No ono can truly enjoy even what he earns what he knows 10 be his own knowing that millions of his i fellow men are in misery and want ] When we think of the famished we feel that 1t is almost heartleS s to eat. To meet the ragged and 1 shivering makes one almost asham ei to be well dressed and warm m- one feels as though his heart was as cold as their bodies.
 In a world filled with millions and millions of acres of land wait. ing to be tiled, where one man can raise the food for scores, mill- ions are on the edge of famine Who can comprehend the stupidi- ty at the bottom of this truth?
 Is there to be no change? Are ''the laws of supply and demand ' invention and science, monopoly and competition, capital and legis. lation, always to be the enemies oi those who toil!
 Will the workers always be ig, norant enough aud stupid enough to give their earnings for the use less! Will they support millions of soldiers 10 kill the sons of the workingman.' Will they always build temples for ghosts and phan- toms and live in huts and dens themselves. Win they forever al. low parasites and crowns aud yam. pires and mitres to live upon their blood? Will they remain the slaves ot the beggars they supporte How lCng will they be controlled by friends who seek favors and re. formers who want office. Will they always prefer famine in the city to feast in the fields! Win they ever feel and know that they have no right to bring children in to the world that they cahnol sup port Will they use their intelli. gence for themselves or for oh CTS? Will they become wise enough to know that they cannot obtain their own liberty by de- stroying that of others! Will they finally see that every man has right .0 choose his trade, his profession. his employment. and has the right to work whea and tor whom and what he will! Will they finally say that the man who has had equal privileges with all others has no right to complain, or will they follow the example that has been set by their oppre>sorS. Will they learn that force, to sue. ceed, must have a thought behind it, and that any thing done, in or der tlla, it may endure, must rest upon the cornerstone ot justice!- North American Review.

A SENSIBLE GIRL.
BY MARY C. PRESTON.

Mrs, Dalgreen was very world ly woman, ''of the earth earthly, and of herself selfsh," even in tne bosom of her family.
 She had married, at an early age man whose proSpectc seemed very brilliant. who would have laid down his life for her on his we'd ding day; but somehow he had not succeeded as he shonld-perhaps she had much to do with his fail ure. What man attains to any thing whose warm heart Is chilled at his own hearth, and whose home is neither a resting place after toll, nor d fair refuge from the storms he meets abroad?
 So Clarence Dalgreen died at last, leaving to his wife and daugh- ter Marguerite but little more than purchased for them the necessa. lies of life.
 Strange that so pure and far d blossom had grown in such an at mosphere, but a sweeter girl than Marguerite never lived; and when the rich widower who had moved into Spiautou saw her, he straight way fell in love with her sunny, girlIsh face.
 Mir. George Blaze was fortynine had children older than Margue- rite, was bald as d billiard ball, was fat extremely so and pom pous and purse proud, and intense ly disagreeable; but he was owner of cotton mills, and lived in mag nifcent style, so Margie's mother was in raptures when he showed a preference for her child.
 The girl herself first laughed at Blake, then grew angry, and spoke few plain truths to her mother.
 "Why do you encourage the old man to make a fool himself?" she asked. "lou know that am younger than his daughter, and brsideS. 1 an engaged to Jack Leroy.'
 My dear, answered Mrs. Dal. green, unmovedly, "Jack Leroy is but a bank clerk, and MT. Blake Is owner of several cotton mills; ] shall not permit you to throwyour' self away
 "I have not the smallest thought of doing doing so." answered Mar gie, with unusual spirit. 'l am going to marry the very best and dearest man on earth"
 "You are going to marry MT. Blake, II he asks you"
 Mrs, Dalgreen's lips were set in line her daughter knew too well, as she made that statement. But Margie's settled into firm curves, too, although she made no an Swer.
 A short time afterward, the old widower offered his heart-what was left of it-and his hand-nei- ther small nor shapely-to Mar pnerite Dalgreen, and she very dutitully sent him to her mother for his answer.
 Surprised no less than delight ed at the girls obedience, Mrs. Dalgreen at once accepted tae ol' fer for her child. and permitted an early day to be set for the we'd ding.
 "Of course Jack Leroy w,ll cease his calls here now" sue said to Margie. l shall request him to do so.n
 "pcrmi, me to make the request il you please, said Margic, mcckly, It will not seem SO hcartless of me if see him myself"
 every well, dear. You are a very sensible girl, Marguerite. l w,s afraid you would he very fool

POETRY
IN SCHOOL.

There is school with a teacher stern
w,,b lessons long and hard to learn
,obool that is found in every cline
I,d that keeps in session all the time
II, open doors are free to all,
The black and white, the great and
small,
And all must go, the bad and good,
For noae could shirk it,i they would
And all must study with weary pain
Old old lessons over again
,.ssons of sorrow, of loss AMI care,
an homeless waiting and despair.
,rd forever we can not choose but
look,
,Tul death shall close lifs's lesson
book,
And we see at last, with all made plain
That our weary tasks were not in
vain.
Doubtless we give some pitying tho't
To those who stand with the strife
unfought;
To those who lift with present pain
our old, old crosses over again
Who strive as we strove, for gold and
pelf,
Who learn as we learned, each for
himself.
For the school shall be taught in the
long years hence
By the same old dame, Experience.
Good Cheer.
